Exe 4-17) Quantity Schedule, Equivalent Units, and Cost per Equivalent Unit-
Weighted Average Method
Pureform, Inc., Manufactures a product that passes through two departments. Data for a
recent month for the first department follow:
Units Materials Labor Overhead
Work in process, beginning5,000 $4,320 $1,040 $1,790
Units started in process..45,000
Units transferred out42,000
Work in process, ending.8, 000
Cost added during the month. $52,800 21,500 $32,250
The beginning work in process inventory was 80% complete with respect to
materials and 60% complete with respect to labor and overhead. The ending work in
process inventory was 75% complete with respect to materials and 50% complete
with respect to labor and overhead.
Requires:
1. Assume that the company uses the weighted-average method of accounting
for units and costs. Prepare a quantity schedule and a computation of
equivalent units for the month for the first department.
2. Determine the costs per equivalent unit for the month.

Ok I dont know if this is correct.

Units to be accounted for:
Work in process, (materials 80%complete, conversion 60%).5, 000

Total units to be accounted for.50, 000
Units accounted for as follows: .Materials Conversion

Work in process, (materials 75% complete, conversion 50%complete)8,000
Total units accounted for 50,000 (42,000+8,000=50,000)
8,000 units x 75% =6,000 equivalent units
8,000 units x 50%= 4,000 equivalent units
Equivalent units

I need help doing the cost per equivalent unit
I cant figure out the total cost.
I can come over tomorrow after work or whatever you dont have class. It is not due until
Sunday.
Exe 4-18). Quantity Schedule, Equivalent Units, and Cost per Equivalent Unit-FIFO
Method
Refer to data in exe 4-17
Required:
1. Assume that the company uses the FIFO method of accounting for units and costs.
Prepare a quantity schedule and a computation of equivalent units for the month
for the first processing department.
2. Determine the costs per equivalent unit for the month.
